🕊️ Imagine a bird so numerous, its flocks darkened the skies for days! Meet the Passenger Pigeon, once the most abundant bird in North America. At their peak, their population reached up to 5 billion. They were so fast and agile, reaching speeds up to 60 miles per hour. Within a few decades, overhunting and habitat destruction led to their rapid decline. By 1914, the last known Passenger Pigeon "Martha" died in captivity. Today, scientists are exploring the possibility of bringing them back through de-extinction technology, using preserved DNA and closely related species like the Band-tailed Pigeon. Will we ever see Passenger Pigeons darken the skies again?
